According to bible,jesus was crucified and rose from grave 3 days after,hope you wish same for your children. He never had a girlfriend talkless of being marry, your children too don't need to be matrimonial. He was tortured and died at the age of 33, hope you wish same for your children. Pls let the youngsters discover what they wish to bow to by theirselves, we must free ourselve from religion slavery.

. you can't be everywhere with your child. if he does not watch tv; he has a phone. so there should be constant practical lesson to teach him and prayer traced or communicated to his life daily. my parent never did all this but I know their prayer made a difference because I was very stubborn that my brother's know me that thus guy stubborn, now if you see me u will ask is this the same guy of 25yrs ago. blazing hot for the kingdom of God.

Sibe007:
Where was Jesus during his formative years, age 12-30. Not mentioned in the Bible.

How do you then learn from how he was formed into a grown Man.?
don't you life is full of battle and Jesus was in the wilderness, preparing himself for what is to come.

The ultimate of all this is to do what you preach to them cause if you don't your children will be the first to know that you are a hypocrite and children do mostly what they see and not what they hear.

Living by example is very critical. Family prayer time and regular sharing of the Word all coupled with love and mutual respect between husband and wife aid greatly in the proper upbringing of children. Many almighty GOD help us all.

Err, the bible doesn't give account of the "growth pattern of Jesus" sir.
Perhaps you should paraphrase, How To Raise your children in the way of Jesus.

Every reasonable parent surely desires children that would make them proud and happy in life. And the easiest way you can have children who will grow into responsible and successful adults in life, is to instill the fear of God in them right from childhood.

When a youth have the fear of God, he/she shuns wrong things that might soil the parent's names, but indulges in good and productive things that will make them happy and proud (Read Genesis 39)

Jesus has been in existence right from the foundations of the world (Revelation Chapter One Verse Eight) Then he decided coming to the world to die for man's sins and save us from hell. He was divinely placed in Mary's womb, and came into this world like every other baby.

Despite being God in man, when He was still a Young Boy, He grew in the will of God. Despite growing around other kids that could have corrupted Him and made Him deviate from the Purpose of God for His life, He still followed God's Will accordingly, and guess what, He was successful!!

Do you also want your children to be God-fearing and successful in life despite how corrupt many young ones are today? Then do these:

- Lead your children to Jesus Christ at the very earliest stages of their lives.

- Teach them the Word of God regularly.

- Always remind them of the Word Of God again and again, alongside the consequences of going against the Word. Also keep reminding them of the blessings associated with doing the will of God.

- You yourself needs to be a God-fearing born again Christian. Children prefers to follow examples than words. Your children are looking at you.

- Pray for them regularly, and always pray at home.

- Try to provide for their necessary needs so they won't want to venture into ungodly things just to get what they want.

- Take them regularly with you to Church and other good Christian gatherings. The tendencies are high that they would live to practice what they have learnt from childhood.

- Always discipline them appropriately when due.

God will use our young ones for His Own Glory in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!

Well stated OP... in addition though, and ultimately, GOD does all the work. We are all merely stewards. Blessings!

the fear of God will not help our children , it is the love of God , telling them how God loves them AND that his grace is there for them to make them grow in him . The fear of God has never help anybody , it is love of God and knowing how he loves you that frees people , .. it is the mercy and Grace of God that frees people from the bondage of sin .. It is the revelation of the love of God for each and every one that makes us grow in him the key is to believe in his conditional love for you and your children ...if you are full of the love of God and know how God loves you will have the faith to grow and share the gospel ..and succeed in all you do ...and you will not hurt people . God is love
by the way , how can you worship a being that you are afraid of ..does not make sense to me anymore ..but I thank God that he opened my eyes and show me how he loved me and will work with me if I embrace him and his love
